Overview

At Kings Veterinary Hospital, we perform a wide range of soft tissue surgeries—that is, procedures not involving bones or joints. This includes surgeries related to the ear, nose, throat, gastroenteric, urogenital systems, skin, and more. Whenever soft tissue surgery is recommended for your pet, our goal is to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being before, during, and after the procedure.

When Is Soft Tissue Surgery Needed?

Soft tissue surgery may be recommended in various situations, such as:

• Routine procedures like removing masses or minor growths

• Emergency interventions following trauma or sudden illness

• Wound management and reconstructive surgeries to repair injuries

Specific Procedures We Offer

To provide greater clarity and confidence, here are some of the specific soft tissue surgeries we perform in‑house:

• Mass Removal — Surgical excision of tumors or growths located on or under the skin

• Foreign Body/Gastrointestinal Surgery — Removing ingested objects or malformed tissue from the digestive tract

• Splenectomy — Surgical removal of the spleen, often necessary when it's diseased or enlarged

• Cystotomy (Bladder Stone Removal) — Opening the bladder to remove stones and relieve urinary blockages

• Perineal Urethrostomy (Male Cats) — Creating a new, wider urinary opening to reduce blockages and recurrent UTIs

By listing these specific procedures, we want pet owners to feel confident that Kings Veterinary Hospital offers a comprehensive and expert range of soft tissue surgical services.
